You have no idea what you're even suggesting. You think you can ban a box with a spring in it? Anyone with a 3d printer or some sheet metal and a way to cut it can make a large capacity magazine.

20 rounds, 12 seconds including a reload. Not more than 10 rounds, no detachable magazine. You gun control zealots propose "solutions" that won't solve anything.

You don't seem to recognize that the USA is for the most part a law-abiding country. Banning HiCap clips and/or certain types of assault weapons makes getting them prohibitively expensive for most people which in turn would limit their accessibility for people like the FL school shooter.

Does China or Singapore or HK or Japan or even England have guns -yes for all. Are they accessible for the average person - absolutely not.

Why not just make murder illegal? Or what about posting signs proclaiming the area is a gun free zone...then there won't be able to be guns in that area right?

STOP this BS victim blaming and conspiracy thoughts.

Florida lawmaker’s aide fired after saying outspoken Parkland students are actors


I am no conspiracy theorist but have logical questions . Suspect did not speak . Was their any video evidence or school camera recordings and he was wearing a mask ?? And police caught him without incident??




I know of many cases back in India that were fishy. Even government of India claim to have carried out "surgical strikes" but not sure on whome.

Thankfully you are in no position to tell anyone what they can buy. Millions of people have cases of magazines, and tens of thousands of rounds of ammo. Do you comprehend?

You're not going to fight the government, that just isn't going to happen and if it did, they would out shoot, out bomb and out drone your butt in a heartbeat

And the reload would possibly give someone in the crowd a chance to stop the shooter. And I don't care what you can make with a 3d printer. People have to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon, that almost always requires a thorough background check by local law enforcement that involves more than just looking for felony convictions. Of course you can concealed carry without a permit but most people don't willingly break the law so they get the permit. And if you required that same vetting for high cap or detachable magazines most people would get the permit for it.

We are talking about the United States in 2017 with a huge military force and well armed local law enforcement a bunch of guys with AR-15s are not going to take on the government period. And the government is not coming for your guns so relax.
